Stuttgart in People's Lives

Hermann Hesse: I was sent here at the end of 1892, at the age of 16, to attend the Gymnasium School here. This followed a year-long period of depression, an attempted suicide, bitter feuds with my family, and the shuffling about between institutions, hospitals, and mental institutions in various cities. Here, I recovered and once again set myself to my studies. However, this did not last long, as I now found a new circle of friends who were older than I was, and who drank and smoked heavily. Enamored, I too took up these habits. I passed my One Year Examination in 1893 and left this school, which was to be my last form of education. I was sent to nearby Esslingen am Neckar to begin an apprenticeship.
